The stroke meta-metric, Defect-Free Care, was maintained year-over-year within the Florida stroke registry during the COVID-19 pandemic
Despite pandemic challenges, the stroke meta-metric DFC improved, albeit more slowly than pre-pandemic years. In this large statewide registry, pandemic patients received EVT more, potentially due to more severe stroke presentations. Stroke care infrastructure preparedness for future pandemics is warranted.
